I wandered
'round this big, wide world,
Just looking for some truth,
The more I looked, the less I found,
There wasn't any proof.
I
travelled to Tibetan heights,
But could not find it there,
So then I looked inside of me,
And travelled to despair.
For there
was not a bit of truth,
That I could find within,
My heart was filled with bitterness,
And every kind of sin.
The many
things that I had done,
The way I lived my life,
Had left me with an emptiness,
And loneliness and strife.
I looked
to those who called me "Friend",
But couldn't find it there,
So then I looked to God above,
And sent up one small prayer.
The
answer came so suddenly,
It took me by surprise,
I bowed my head in gratitude,
As tears poured from my eyes.
His truth
rained down and filled my soul,
And with it came His love,
So now I live in love and truth,
And not the way I was.
